I'm trying to create a regular expression to match the first html of a text file with this content:
garbage
garbage
§
test
§
garbage
garbage
§
test
§
garbage
garbage
§
test
§
garbage
garbage
first I tried something similar on regex101.com
with PCRE2 and single line mode and it works ok. Then I tried it on Windows with Notepad++ with "dot matches new line" option enabled, it works ok there too.
Now I'm trying to do the same on Arch Linux with pcre2grep, i've tried with this regular expression:
pcre2grep -o '(?s)' test.txt
but it doesn't work and I don't know why because from what i have understood the "(?s)" modifier should enable the PCRE2_DOTALL. How can i create an equivalent regular expression with pcre2grep ?
